A Place of Gathering with a Fascinating History - East Simpson Coffee Co! 💖

East Simpson Coffee Co has a fascinating history!


East Simpson Coffee - Your Home away from Home!
The moment we set foot in this beautiful historical building, we felt at home. Our girls loved to hang out upstairs reading while enjoying a treat from Leslie and her amazing staff. This is truly a special place and we are delighted to announce that you can now enjoy HĂŁvenly's Morning Raisin Oat Buns and Rustic Loaves with your order, and buy some of our bake-at-home bread mixes. And please check out East Simpson's event calendar for musical Thursdays and other events.

Fun and fascinating history: East Simpson is the street that was home to one of Colorado’s largest coal mines and commercial businesses in Lafayette, Colorado. The bustling four blocks of downtown suffered two major fires and eventually outgrew its streets. With downtown relocating west onto Public Street, the surviving dozen or so buildings on East Simpson would stand dormant for the next several decades. Immediately upon moving to this wonderful neighborhood, Leslie, Bill and their two daughters knew they wanted to be a part of the reenergizing of Historic Old Town Lafayette, and they opened East Simpson Coffee Co in 2014. Six years later they learned that the former home of Lafayette’s historic City Hall was available for rent. The former City Hall that had doubled as a fire station with horse-drawn fire trucks was now an office building. Under the guidance of Bill, an experienced stage builder, the family spent many hours transforming 201 E. Simpson St. into the beautiful cafe and gathering place you'll find today! When you visit, don't forget to check out the window in the bathroom, it has the original bars from Lafayette's first jail cell.
